HP Netserver AA 6200 Solutions Release Notes v4.0 SP1

14 Endurance Release Notes for Release 4.0 Service Pack 1
Dynamic Disk Considerations
Release 4.0 supports the use of dynamic disks, as described below. To use dynamic disks with
the Release 4.0 Endurance software, consider the following:
• Consider using a basic disk for the CE boot disk. Some Windows 2000 resource kit items
do not support dynamic disks.
• Always use the Windows 2000 Disk Manager on the CE to create or update dynamic disks
and to write the disk signature. Do not create or update dynamic disks, write the disk
signature, or perform any dynamic disk operations on the IOPs. Managing volume
creation or extension from any environment other than the CE operating system will
produce unpredictable results and is not supported.
• You can perform the following disk management activities:
- Convert the CE boot disk and data disks from Basic to Dynamic. To do so,
perform the conversion on the CE operating system, not from an IOP in Offline
Endurance I/O Processor Mode.
- Create or extend volumes that span multiple redirected CE disks for volumes
created on the CE operating system.
- Configure CE data disks for simple volumes, spanned volumes, mirrored
volumes, striped volumes, or RAID volumes for disks created on the CE
operating system.
